The University Library "La Sapienza" was closed in 2012 for security reasons due to the earthquake in Emilia Romagna: since then it was never been reopened.The Library is one of the most important in Italy, with more than 600,000 books and 4,000 manuscripts.The indifference of the institutions about this problem is embarrassing and it's a clear signal of how culture (which has always been in the DNA of our country) is more and more left out.
